URINAL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,200, dated November 28, 1882. Application filed August 10, 1882. (No model.)-

To all whom it may concem Be it known that I, ROBERT E. DAY,'0f Hartford, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented new Improvements in Urinals; and I do herebydeclare the following, when taken in connection with accompanying drawing and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawing constitutes part of this specification,

and represents a vertical central section.

This invention relates to an improvement in the construction of urinals and slop-receivers, such as usually are made from glass, porcelain,

or earthenware, and such as are usually fixed, in contradistinction to the class of basins which swing in a plane parallel with thebasin, and upon an axis parallel with the vertical line of I the basin, but entirely outside the basin.

In the usual construction the basins are secured by lugs or flanges made as a part of the basin, or by some device rigidly attached thereto. Henceit frequen tlyoccurs that by the expansion or contraction of the material, or

2 of the twisting, shrinking, or swelling of the part or place to which they are attached, the basins are broken.

The principal object of my invention is to avoid this difficulty; and it consists in arrang- 0 ing the basin in brackets without positive connection with the basin, but so as to allow its expansion or contraction, or the working of the brackets thereon without strain upon the basin, and also in details of construction, as

3 5 more fully hereinafter described.

A represents the basin proper, made preferably from glass, but may be made from porcelain, earthen ware, or other vitreous material, which is provided with a cover, B, hingedover the opening, as at a. At its lower end is a tubular projection, O, which forms an outlet, and also sets into a bracket-arm, D, without positive connection with it.

At the upper end and in vertical line with the extension 0 below, and should be concentrio with it, is the neck E, also arranged in a bracket,F,in likemanneras theextension below. These brackets are secured to the wall, post, or whatever it may be by flanges G or other- Wise, so as tohold them firmly thereto; or the brackets may be connected by a plate extending from one to the other,the basin introduced by first passing the upperend into its bracket sufficiently far to permit the lower extension to pass in over the bracket, and then down through it. By this construction the basin is firmly held, yet with perfect freedom of movement under any strain which may be brought upon it, and thus will avoid the frequent breakage of such basins.

At the waste, which is through the extension 0, I arrange a trap to prevent the escape of anything liable to clog the waste-pipe. This trap consists of a concavo-convex disk, 01, set in the waste-passage, the concave side up, and constructed with a perforated hollow cone, 6, extending up from the concave side into the basin, as shown. Should there be anything in the basin which would close the common perforated discharge-opening, it will find its 7e place in the bottom of the basin; but the cone extending up so far forms an overflow-discharge, which notwithstanding the fact that some of the lower perforations may be closed, there will yet be other perforations above, sufficient to permit the overflow to pass out.

As a ventilator for the basin, a chimney, H, is arranged over the neck in the form of a cap, and so as to close down upon the bracket, which cap or chimney is led by'suitable pipes to any convenient point for discharge. This opens the basin at a point where the gases will readily escape.

To flush the basin I introduce through the neck a Water-tube, I, provided at its lower end with a rose-distributer, L, preferably arranged in the center of the neck, and othat the spray from it will strike all points of the basin. By this construction I produce a better flushing than can be done by the usual tangential inlet.

The supportingbrackets may be hinged so that the basin may swing. v
